Money related resolutions are very popular in the new year.  Everyone wants to get out of debt, everyone wants to reduce their expenses and everyone loves to create an additional source of income.  In this post, I will show you 2 online tools, that will help you maintain your Money Resolutions this new year.

Xpenser

This is an extremely simple but powerful tool to manage all your expenses, with their receipts (if any).  The major strength of Xpenser comes from its support of variety of channels – to record expenses.

You can record expenses to your account, in one of the following ways:

• Direct Entry on Xpenser Online Tool
• Send your Expense Details from a registered Email
• Send the details from SMS/Text Messaging (carrier charges will still apply)
• Send Expense Information as a Twitter Direct Message to Xpenser
• Send the details via Instant Messaging
• Speak about your expense after setting up a Voice account….

One other key feature with Xpenser, is the ability to use variety of Currencies and the accurate conversion it provides.  I find this feature missing in many other Personal Finance tools – which are biased toward USD.

Xpenser FAQ is the best place to get an answer for most of your questions.  Try out this sweet little tool and I am sure you will not regret!

PocketSmith

PocketSmith is an online money management tool – that is not very simple to use but its strength lies elsewhere.

It is a web based tool not only to record your expenses/income, but also forecasts your future cash position.  This tool helps you manage all the cash-flow in a calendar format – that is very intuitive and easy to visualize.

Some of the features of the tool include:

• Set and achieve your Financial goals
• Compare your Budget with the actuals
• Integrates with your Back Accounts
• PocketSmith calendar can be connected with Google Calendar

You can know more about PocketSmith here.  Though the Free version of the tool will suffice most of your financial needs, they also have Paid Flavors for needy users.

These 2 tools, when used with purpose can help you stick with your Money Resolutions this New Year.  However, to make these Resolutions a success – one has to develop a sense of money discipline – which no tool can help and must come from within!  Good luck this New Year and may you Grow Richer!

I always believe that to succeed in Business – you should start loving Money.  Not just the love – you should also start understanding how to better manage the Money that you spend and the Money that you make.

One of the wonderful Money Blogs I regularly follow is – Get Rich Slowly.  This blog is full of practical advice and tips to improve on your money management skills.

Recently, GRS has been running a 14-part series that explains the core tenets of the site.  I strongly urge you to read all the posts written so far and also follow this blog (remember – I don’t get anything through this recommendation.  It is purely based on my experience!)

Here is the latest post in the Series – Nobody Cares More About Your Money Than You Do.  This post has links at the bottom, to all other posts in the series.

Happy Money Management!
